Vision Brainstorming and Development Once participants are comfortable with the topic and with each other, the dialogue should be moved toward discussing a vision for the community. Questions should be formulated beforehand to drive this discussion. Useful visioning questions might include: 1. What does a healthy county mean to you? 2. What are important characteristics of a healthy community for all who live, work, and play here? 3. How do you envision the local public health system in the next five or 10 years? Responses to these questions should focus on broad concepts, not details. Responses can be collected through brainstorming activities or by writing ideas down and then sharing them. This activity can be organized to gather information through small group processes, or the group as a whole can address the questions. Possible approaches for brainstorming include: • Ask each person to write down what she or he believes about healthy communities. Then ask participants to pair up, share their thoughts, and develop a joint list. Participants should clarify each other’s ideas and discuss any conflicting information. Then each pair can join another pair and repeat the process. The process is repeated until the entire group is back together. • Ask each participant to write down her or his ideas. Then, in round-robin fashion, go around the room, posting all ideas on a flip chart (this can be shortened by limiting the number of ideas offered per participant). After all ideas are shared, the group discusses and organizes them. • Distribute small pieces of paper and ask participants to write down their ideas— one idea on each piece of paper. Then have participants tape their ideas to a wall. A small group then moves the ideas around until common ideas are grouped together. List and discuss the common ideas. Values Brainstorming and Development Once ideas have been gathered and there is consensus about the concepts contained in a community vision, the group can move on to identifying common values (this may be done in the second part of the first session, or during a second session). It is strongly recommended that a small task force or staff group draft the actual vision statement. The values brainstorming process should be similar to that used when creating the vision statement, and can use the same brainstorming techniques. Questions to elicit thoughts on common values include: 1.Taking into consideration the shared vision that has been developed, what are the key behaviors that will be required of the local public health system partners, the community, and others in the next five to 10 years to achieve the vision? 2.What type of working environment or climate is necessary to support participants in performing the above behaviors and in achieving the vision? 30
Phase 2: VISIONING Closing the Session /Check-out At the end of each session, the facilitator should ensure that everyone is comfortable with the results of the session. Give participants a chance to make final comments or express concerns about the results or the process. This helps to ensure that participants leave the session without feeling frustrated and may also improve future group processes. Close the meeting with a discussion of next steps. Discuss the need for and the timing of future meetings. Make sure that everyone understands the next steps and how follow-up will occur. Follow-up to the Session After the visioning session, a small group should compile the results and draft statements for the shared vision and common values. The draft statements should be presented to the visioning group participants through a follow-up session or through other mechanisms. Participants should be given a chance to make minor adjustments. Once everyone is satisfied, the vision and values should be formally adopted. The statements should then be kept alive through the remainder of the MAPP process.All MAPP materials, such as brochures, leaflets, and reports, should include the statements. References to vision and values statements should be made at the beginning of each MAPP committee meeting. Phase 2: VISIONING 31
